Becoming

In her memoir, former First Lady Michelle Obama invites readers into her world, chronicling the experiences that have shaped her — from her childhood on the South Side of Chicago to her years as an executive balancing the demands of motherhood and work, to her time spent at the most famous address in the world. With unerring honesty and vivid writing, she examines her triumphs and her disappointments, both public and private. Becoming is the deeply personal reckoning of a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations — and whose story inspires us to do the same.
